The defect
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2014 Peterbilt 567 and 579 model chassis manufactured January 29, 2013, through October 9, 2013, and equipped with Allison-brand transmissions. The affected vehicles may be missing the wiring that illuminates the shifter pad backlighting. As such, the chassis fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Controls and Displays."
The risk
Without the transmission shifter being illuminated, the driver may not be able to easily identify what gear the vehicle is in, which could result in cause unintentional vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
PACCAR will notify owners and dealers will install the missing wiring, free of charge. The recall began on March 11, 2014. Owners may contact PACCAR at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 1213H.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
